Dear Friends,

Here's a list of things you can eat at The Rose and Kettle restaurant this weekend:

Grilled Hamburgers from Nectar Hills Farm with Brioche Rolls from Le Bus Bakery (in Philadelphia--they arrive frozen) and Cheddar Cheese from Jake Rury's shop.

Celery Root Puree from Tom Takac's farm in Palatine Bridge. (With White Truffle Oil.) (No website. Old School.)

Wild Gulf of Mexico Shrimp Sauteed with Romesco (puree of almonds, bread, pepper flakes, tomato and garlic) served with local yellow potatoes and greens.

Nectar Hills Farm Pork Butt braised in Sharon Orchards Cider and served with whipped rutabagas.

But I know you, you're just gonna come in and get the R and K Salad and the Hanger Steak anyway. Come on, admit it. You know it's true.

And that's okay too.

-Clem Coleman

P.S. Coming Soon: The return of art on the walls!!! Special event!!!

Feeding Yourself at The Rose and Kettle

Dear Folks,
                                                        

Don't forget your dinner reservations at The Rose and Kettle this weekend! We're open Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 5, and we've got lots of great Fall menu items like local Veal Milanese from Gaia's Breath Farm in Jordanville, Bolito Misto (mixed boiled meats) with Pickles and Sea Salt, Wild Alaskan King Salmon, Elk Steaks and Roasts from Rosebrook Elk Farm in Roseboom, and more.

Last Sunday we started our Fall Sunday Music Series with two great acts and good friends, Ross Goldstein and The Scientific Maps. Whether you missed it or caught it, I posted a great Video that The Scientific Maps recently put up on "The You-Tube" at The Rose and Kettle Blog.

And remember, this Sunday is Hilltown Music Night, with live music from a host of bands from Rensellaerville, NY... The Red-Haired Strangers, Dana Monteith and my own band King Vidor. All these bands record and play together, a blend of acoustic and electric rock, country and folk. Sunday Night Music is always free, starts at 8:30.

And for light meals and bar food, check out The Rose and Kettle's bar menu, available every night at 8. Steak and Fries, Rose and Kettle Salad with Grilled Chicken, Flatbread Sandwiches. The Rose and Kettle Bar Menu, always "Cheap and Cheerful."

Thanks so much. And to the new folks recently added to our email list, let me know if you would like to be removed from this list, and feel free to peruse the Blog where we've posted lots of pictures from our trip top Rome last Winter.

Yours,
Clement Coleman

Live Music Begins, and The Fall Menu arrives

Dear Friends and Family,

The Rose and Kettle introduces new menu items this weekend, like Ultra-delicious Veal Milanese with fresh veal from our pals at Gaia's Breath farm, thinly sliced and breaded and parmed-up and cooked crispy, served with Wild Local Spinach, aka Lamb's Quarters, the most delicate and wonderful wild leafy green that is foraged by our farmer friend Tom Takacs up in Palatine Bridge. We also continue with burgers from Dave and Sonia at Nectar Hills farm, with fresh homemade aioli and shoestring fries.

We're still collecting votes for the hall of famous foods from menus past, but one item that's been popular are the old spring/autumn rolls. In response I'm making a new batch of organic chicken and broccoli autumn rolls with cheese, cooked crispy and served with a small green salad with apples and walnuts.

Lots of Fall greens are pouring in from local farms, so I'm making a roasted chicken both-based greens soup with poached egg and crouton. An old Italian recipe I picked up--not last year, but my first time around-- in 1993 when I was a young painting student in Rome and started my accidental education in delicious eating.

Okay, one more thing: The Sunday Night Music Series (Which is FREE) begins this week with the Fantastic Scientific Maps and the equally fantastic Ross Goldstein. We've had them in before and they are also friends of mine from the music underground. The Scientific Maps are a guitar and trumpet-led band that play pop songs with harmonies and melodies to kill for. They, along with Ross Goldstein, are leaders in the anarchic Troy art scene. How does an anarchic scene get leaders? I don't know, maybe through violent over-throw? or maybe just through excellence. Ross plays guitar pop with influences that range from Don Ho to T-Rex, and that is not a joke. He wrenches a near slack-key Hawaiian tone from his Fender Stratocaster that is jaw-dropping. It all starts this Sunday at 8:30. Check out our blog for the current musical schedule and links to these band's web pages.


Thanks,
Clem Coleman
